England losing as we got a washout will be peak hilarious

A washout and England beating Afghanistan would mean SA v Eng is for qualification. England would be happy for a draw.

Watch Afghanistan beat them.

 

[Moonwatcher]

They would of course prefer an SA loss.

Lots of rain in that image.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Whoever wins the toss will definitely bowl first.

 

[Gough]

They're just testing the waters (heh) with cricket. If they see it as profitable then they'll improve it I think.

We need a reply of the third final of the 83/84 WSC.

Surely they can provide a link to a Lethal Weapon 3 stream.

 

[Grumpyshades]

weather forecast looks a bit grim

What? We will get points for a washout..

 

[Plugger35]

They are saying they will be back on air at 14.30 local time for a live update where they will probably just tell us it's still raining.

Turns the Australia/Afghanistan game into a must win otherwise if England beat SA the saffers will beat us on NRR for 2nd.

Afghanistan game would be must win if we lose today so I'd rather we get a chance to win today instead of sharing points.

Should be worth half a win. Puts England's destiny in their own hands just beat Afghanistan and SA.

It's worth 1 point.

Every chance England lose both of those anyway. Doubt they beat SAF.

 

[Gough]

There seems to be an opening for a decent South African side to amusingly miss out in an ICC tournament again.

If Mothet Nature relents that is

England are capable of putting a big score on the board. Just need to get their shot selection right.

They're not capable of defending it

 

[darcytiger]

Well this is shit, I was looking forward to this tonight.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Their attack isn't Australia level bad.

 

[Doggy]

Their attack isn't Australia level bad.

Could have fooled me.

Maybe you haven't woken up since the other night you said they would win .... all game...

 

[Doggy]

Well this is shit, I was looking forward to this tonight.

Unlikely to get a game in. Forecast has rain until at least 3pm tomorrow

 

[Doggy]

Weather forecast for Friday doesnt look too flash either

Is a washout as good as a win?

 

[Doggy]

Is a washout as good as a win?

No.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Is a washout as good as a win?

Would mean if we beat Afghanistan we top the group but we are relying on South Africa beating England if we don't. England could beat SA as long as they don't get their NRR above Australia's which would be low after a loss to Afghanistan.

 

[Moonwatcher]

A shortened game would favour SA's power hitting you'd think.
